I live in an old farm house, built around 1893.
Most of the house is in a state of repair, restoration or just complete mess. That stems from being a carpenter I guess.
I finally got around to pulling the carpet off the steps going upstairs.
17 steps in total and the bottom 4 were the worst abomination of cobbled together mess I had ever seen in my life.
They were dangerous, of course I dealt with it for a few months, I won't mention the water leak I finally got fixed after 4 months of catching it with a bucket.
The bottom 4 steps have no stringers, all wedged in and notched around the skirt boards.
I finally got some Ash (hard to find anymore around here) and a bit of ambition, set my tools up in the kitchen and got to work.
I did some more tuning and distressing after these pictures. Now I just have to clean up the other 13 steps and get them stained and a few coats of finish on them.
